Global Corporate & Specialty

What is Aviva GCS?

Global corporate speciality - together, we make a world of difference.

At Aviva we pride ourselves in the breadth of insurance and risk management solutions that we can offer, whilst at the same time remaining agile and flexible to meet a wide range of personal, commercial and corporate insurance needs.

Our Global Corporate & Specialty (GCS) division is focussed on building the right solutions for large corporate clients and their brokers, working together to provide a tailor-made package that meets their requirements in the UK and across the globe.

Designed for clients with either a turnover of over £100 million (regardless of premium size), or a total insurance spend across all lines in excess of £250,000 premium, we take a unique specialist approach in a traditional market; industry-focused, with an emphasis on close client relationships, a unique service proposition and leveraging our distribution advantages.

Specialists in supporting key industries

We’re focussed on writing global risks, through specialist hubs in UK, Canada and France, in five signature lines, serving seven key industry segments. Through this model we provide access to experienced and knowledgeable underwriters and sales teams whose local, national and global market insight, coupled with accountability and the ability to make fast underwriting decisions, gives clients the expert solutions they need.

Complete client solutions

Aviva’s true customer composite model means that we have the almost unique capability of being able to meet all our customer’s insurance and investment needs, offering a tailored combination of products and solutions to serve them more efficiently.

This, combined with a highly experienced centralised underwriting team and client relationship managers with expertise across so many geographical and industry segments, makes our offering truly all-encompassing.
